Description
Opened in 1988 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Australian Parliament House was designed by architect firm Mitchell, Giurgola & Thorp whose winning design was selected from a field of 329 entries from 28 different countries.
Australian Parliament House was built into Capital Hill and not on top of it, symbolically placing parliament on the same level as the people it serves. Designed to last 200 years, this magnificent structure incorporates motifs signifying Australia’s ancient beginnings, Indigenous culture, European settlement, pastoral development and bright future.
